Description

 

Longball is played as a summer game in Onondaga Nation, near Syracuse NY.

The game, described as "ancient," features foul lines, pitchers who can make outs by catching hit balls after a first bounce, a leather ball about the size of a baseball, games played to 21 runs, and "stinging,"  (plugging runners to put them out).
